Have you been asking for creeping ficus or creeping fig? Most may know it better as creeping fig (ficus pumilia) I'd be very suprised if you local garden centres didn't have it, all the ones around here stock it constantly in one variety or another as do the DIY stores.

It's commonly available as small pot plants amongst "mixed" houseplants in garden centres, I've seen it in plenty of other shops as well - Asda, Tesco etc. I don't think it's one of the rarer houseplants, maybe it's just out of season?

I've never had a problem finding any myself, but then there are plenty of places for me to look in London.

Good luck in finding some, this is my favourite terrarium plant, I love having a carpet of undergrowth in my tanks!
